SEX SWAP OP: Billy-Joe Newington's new penis will be made from the skin of his tattooed arm [SWNS]

Billy-Joe Newington was born as a girl called Connie but since the age of four, he has been desperate to be a boy.

And after male hormone therapy and a double mastectomy, his dreams are nearly complete – all that is needed is his manhood.

Doctors say they can construct it from the smooth, hairless skin of his forearm but because he's right-handed they'll need to operate on this left arm which is covered in a massive colourful TATTOO.

Discussing the three operations to build the penis, the 25-year-old night-club DJ from Cardiff, Wales, said: "The first operation is to make the body of the penis, then the second will be to make the head and have the testicle implants, and the third will be a urethral lengthening and a hysterectomy.

“I'm already living the life of a man, but this will be the final step”

"The first thing people ask is will you be able to ejaculate, and the answer to that is no. I will still be able to achieve orgasm.

"If I couldn't I would not be able to go through with it. It's important but not that important.

"I will be able to get an erection though, because there are things they can put in it."

Billy-Joe started taking male hormones more than two years ago, quickly transforming him from a size eight girl into a muscular man with stubble.

He spent years binding his 32C boobs down but had a double mastectomy at the start of this year and his "lower half" surgery is set to take place later this year.

Billy-Joe said the surgery will finally transform him into the man he feels he was always meant to be.

He explained: "When I was a teenager I was living with double feelings – this is how I feel and this is how society wants me to be.

"I tried to fight against it, I tried the whole make-up thing, the long hair and the straighteners but it wasn't me. Once I had the top half operation I instantly felt like I could finally be me.
